Purpose: To build interactive Boolean circuits to study their behavior.
Objectives: After this lab you should be able to
Since it can be expensive to build an actual computer circuit with physical components, computer scientists use software-based Boolean logic simulators to construct and test computer circuit diagrams before the physical version. In this lab you are going to use a Java applet Boolean logic simulator to construct and test computer circuits that illustrate each basic Boolean gate, simple computer circuits and memory flip-flops.
At the lowest level, information flows through computers as electrical signals. All components are connected by wires, and at any instant a single wire is on (conducting electricity) or off (not conducting). We can represent the on/off nature of an electric signal using one bit which is either 0 or 1. One bit gives us enough information to answer a True/False question on a quiz. In the diagram below electricity can flows from the input switch on the right to the output light on the left.
A zero (0) signal. Electricity is not flowing so the light is off |
A one (1) signal. Electricity is flowing so the light is on |
Input and output values are shown here as input switches and output lights.
Component | Symbols | Input/Output |
Input switch | Produces either 1 or 0 output. | |
Output light | Shows 0 input as an off light, a 1 input as on. |
To process more than one bit of information we use the Boolean operations of AND, OR, NOT and XOR as explained in Section 1.1. A device that produces the output of a Boolean circuit when given the operation's input values is called a gate, so we use the AND, OR, NOT and XOR gates when we build a computer circuit. These allow us to combine information in individual signals. An example of a circuit using the AND is in the diagram below. Both inputs are one so the output is 1.
An AND gate with two inputs of 1. |
The output of a Boolean gate will change as the input values change. If we reset the input switches so the first one is off, then the output light goes off.
An AND gate with two inputs of 1. |
The four Boolean gates are diagrammed using the symbols in this table. All gates and connectors in the simulator take input on the left and produce output on the right.
Gate | Symbol | Inputs | Output | |
0 | 1 | 0 | ||
1 | 0 | 0 | ||
1 | 1 | 1 | ||
0 | 1 | 1 | ||
1 | 0 | 1 | ||
1 | 1 | 1 | ||
1 | 0 | |||
0 | 1 | 1 | ||
1 | 0 | 1 | ||
1 | 1 | 0 |
In building a complex circuit we may need to duplicate a signal, or reroute a wire to make the diagram clear. The diagram below shows the use of two special connectors, a one to two connector that puts a single input signal on two outputs, and a one to one connector that reroutes a signal without changing it.
One input connected to two outputs. |
Connector | Symbol | Input/Output |
One to two | Two outputs with same value as input. | |
One to one | One output with same value as input. |
In this lab you will build computer circuits from the four Boolean gates, the input switch, the output light, and the two connectors, put together Any computer circuit based on on/off, Boolean values can be built from this collection of parts. The LogicGates applet instructions give a tutorial example on how to build a computer circuit from scratch.
A circuit built using the simulator is invalid if there are excess gates or not all the gates are properly connected. The simulator will bring you back to editing the circuit if you try to run it as invalid.
An invalid circuit |
A valid circuit can have multiple paths, or with gate outputs that connect back to themselves or another gate in the circuit. Note that the output of the second circuit is always 1, no matter what the input, once it becomes 1 - this circuit cannot be switched off once on.
Valid circuit with two paths | Valid circuit with gate input to itself |
Once we have a circuit build we can run it using different input values. By doing this we can figure out the input/output function of the circuit. The designer of a computer circuit is trying to match a particular input/output function - for example, they might want a circuit that produces an output 1 only if the first input 1 and the second is 0, as in this Boolean table. A Boolean table has columns for each input, a column for the output, and rows for each possible combination of input labeled with the correct output.
First input | Second input | Output |
0 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 1 | 0 |
1 | 0 | 1 |
1 | 1 | 0 |
This circuit will produce this table by inverting the second input. To show this, we have to evaluate the circuit for the four possible input patterns.
Input values | Circuit simulation | Output value |
Both 0 | 0 | |
First 0, second 1 | 0 | |
First 1, second 0 | 1 | |
First 1, second 1 | 0 |
A Boolean circuit can be completely understood from it Boolean table, so computer circuit designers use the tables to create and test circuits. You will be acting as a designer as you build circuits during this lab. From this lab you should learn how to construct Boolean tables from Boolean circuits, and the reverse.
The steps in the procedure are on the Lab Report sheets. As previously instructed in Before you begin, print out the Lab Report sheets, carry out their procedures and fill them out with your results.

Miley Cyrus' 9-Year-old Little Sis Gets Halloween All Wrong
Filed under: Celeb Kids, In The News, Extreme Childhood, Fashion
Dlisted, who published the photo, calls for a slap on papa Billy Ray Cyrus' wrists.
Little Cyrus vamped it up for Jamie Lee Curtis' Halloween party -- Curtis was dressed as Mother Nature, according to Dlisted -- but sadly, this grade-schooler turned heads for all the wrong reasons.

Brenda said...While I am disappointed in Billy Ray's choice to allow his daughter to go out dressed like this knowing she owuld most likely be photographed by the media, I can't say that I am shocked to see a nine year old dressed like this for Halloween. As a former grade school teacher and a mother of two, I have seen far too many young girls dressed in sexy diva, vampire and witch costumes over the years. Yes, it is a disturbing trend, but far more disturbing is that this kind of attire is no longer saved for dress up and Halloween. Just spend a week around any American public school or mall and you will see huge numbers of girl under the age of 13 dressed like this for every day things like going to school and shopping. I remember battling with my mother to be allowed to wear eyeshadow and blush in junior high and now I see 7, 8 and 9 year olds wearing mascara and bright red lipstick every day.
Yes, a less sexualized costume would be more appropriate for the little Cyrus girl, but at least it was only a Halloween costume. The ones who should really be slapped are the parents who would allow similar attire on November 1st when they head to church (yes, I have seen that, too).
Elizabeth said...Her older sister is setting a really bad example for her and clothing mainly. Miley in the Party in the U.S.A video looked like a hooker while dancing on the pole and wow... the make-up is just a bad touch.
dalrene said...Here is my thought: I think that it must be very hard for her to live in the shadow of her big sister! I think that is a normal response to that feeling of "being ignored". What she needs is some possitive attention from daddy!
Donna said...I wouldn't want my daughter dressing like that. And if your a Christian then you shouln't be allowing your kids to participate in Halloween activities anyway! I don't agree with churches either they are still celebrating it know matter what they call it. People need to wake up!!!!
Tara said...I agree, my daughter wouldn't wear it! This child is also in the public & who knows what pervs are thinking...parents, u should be ashamed
Connie said...Isn't that what Halloween is all about? Dressing up like something you're not. What I have a problem with is mother's who dress up their little girls to look sexy for talent/beauty shows. For example: Jon Bene Ramsey
Brian said...So right, she is wearing something very similar to a hooker. And if you look like one people will treat you like one regardless. "If I wear a cop uniform on a normal day people are gonna judge me and assume me to be a police officer." dave chappelle. Yet when women or in this case child wears something slutty and yes that was pretty slutty outfit Halloween or not and people are gonna get all kinds of ideas like what is the parent thinking. Now when this girl goes out dressed like a whore when she's old she will wonder why guys are grabbing there ass or treating them like a piece of ass. If you were the uniform of a whore prepared to be treated like one. I bet she got hit on by some drunk guy who prolly thought she was just a small adult. OK DOUBT IT but I've been to weddings when i was 14 and even thought my cousins were dressed nice drunk jerks hit on her. I see Noah Cyrus in playboy in ten years. JOKE but seriously parents no one is saying your kids cant look cute. but come on BOOTS WITH THAT LARGE A HEEL AND THAT SHORT OF A SKIRT WAS NOT MADE FOR A NINE YEAR OLD PERIOD.
Mandie said...Alright, guys. Enough is ENOUGH.
Maybe you are rather unintelligent and therefore, unaware about the meaning of the word "costume" and "party"- this means, for all your morons out there, that people dress up and LOOK LIKE SOMEONE ELSE.
Her breasts aren't showing. Her ass isn't showing. Her cooch isn't showing. There's some thigh, but a lot less than you'd see in a bathing suit. It's a little girl in a Halloween costume with Halloween makeup, having fun playing dress-up and pretending to be someone else.
It's a costume. It's not like she wore it to school. You are LOOKING for things to pick at. Does it make you feel high and mighty about yourself to bash a KID for wearing a COSTUME? Or her parents, for OMG, allowing her to wear a Halloween costume?
It's not illegal for a little girl to put on makeup. All you bitchy old nags out there- are you really trying to tell me that when you were a little girl, you never dressed up in a big girl dress and put on makeup?
Come ON. The reaction this has provoked is just disgusting, and you're all like a bunch of vultures on a piece of meat. This hasn't harmed you in the LEAST.
Quite honestly, I think it's all of YOU that need the smack upside the head. Also, you need to grow up and stop being P-R-U-D-E-S.
Yeah, I said it. You're prudes. Stop being jealous and pissy that a 9 year old is hotter than you and grow the hell up.
Jesus Christ.
B said...Is she supposed to be a witch? Whatever happened to a black robe and hat? Why is she dressed like a hooker? To everyone saying, "people who see that outfit as sexual has problems," think about this, if it were being worn by a busty 26-year-old, you'd think it was hot. Her crotch is almost hanging out for god's sake! And what does a 9-year-old need with high heels?
Krista said...I think she looks cute, not sexualized. I girls wear shorts that short nowadays anyway!
nikki said...i think shes a 9 year old grl. she has no boobs nd no butt 4 it to b sexual. i understand if a 15 year old were wearing that bcuz then it would b tight and short but noahs legs arnt even 2 feet tall. i tell u...this "journalist" neexd 2 get a life.
Angela said...actually, she does dress like this all the time. she seems to have a thing for super super short dresses. take a look. . .
SKL said...Um, it covers her better than a lot of the stuff kids wear in public nowadays. I don't get it. What is sexual about any of it? Maybe the red lipstick - but that depends on what she's dressing as (I don't get that either).
verycoolname said...Hey Noah, whats up!? Wow, you look good in that 'outfit'. Hope you have a good time at the party. Maybe we can meet later or something? We'll have a cup of coffee or a drink or maybe a bite to eat. lol I'll fill ya in on my latest 'adventure/mishap' in the Alps! lol Anyway, have fun, be good! Give me a call. ;)
Heidi said...I agree she looks like a tramp. And if she wore this get-up to a nightclub I'd say slap her parents. But for goodness sake - it's a Halloween costume. If anyone other than a celeb kid wore this outfit for Halloween it wouldn't even be news.
Anonymous said...This just makes me wonder what is wrong with society today that this type of thing can be considered "normal and appropriate" by so many. Also, celeb kids tend to set the standard in clothing trends (I'm 16, I should know), so that fact that she is dressing up like this makes other kids think it is the "cool" thing to do.
DKW said...The Costume does look a little too old, but for goodness sake it's HALLOWEEN people. get over its not like she wears this every day she will wear it once and then probably wont wear it again. Arent you supposed to dress up like something your not for Halloween. I think people who are looking at this picture and calling it sextual are totally looking at this picture the wrong way.
Elizabeth said...It's only sexual if you think children are sexual beings, which I don't. Kids don't know (or at least they shouldn't know) that what they're wearing will make some adults think they are "trampy." I mean, look at what kids wore in the 30s and 40s--there were dresses that barely covered underwear they were so short, and no one thought anything about it. It's only sexual if you make it that way. And she was wearing it for a Halloween party--it's not like this is what she looked like in her school picture. I bet if you saw her on a normal day to day basis, she wouldn't be wearing this. She has a mother, too, not just a dad.
Karen said...The trouble is that pedophiles see this as sexual,and when you allow your NINE year old to dress like this,then you are inviting trouble. it's a sad commentary on the world today,but in the internet age,some pervert will use this photo for his own purposes. It is our number one job as parents to protect our children,and,looking at this photo,this girl's parents are just issuing an open invitation to all the perverts out there,and there are millions! So,for me,the debate is not about whether or not the costume is appropriate for a nine year-old. It is about the fact that I would not put my child in the position of attracting undue deviant attention.
Linda said...I could not agree more with Karen, she took the words right out of my brain. I do not see children as sexual objects, and you may not either, Elizabeth, but there are plenty of perverted individuals who do. I have a young daughter and would not let her out in public (in front of the press, no less!) dressed like a call girl. Why would a caring parent want certain people to have sexual thoughts about their child? I guarantee you there are people who see this photo and have that reaction. Of course, I don't expect my children to support me financially. I guess that's the difference between the marketing your children vs. protecting and nurturing your children. I'm comfortable with my decision.

Moody Air Force Base in Lowndes County is home to some of the nation's latest military equipment, including the best bullet-proof vests available.
Recently, the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office arrested three airmen and five other civilians, accusing them of stealing and selling the vests.
Ashley Paulk, Lowndes County Sheriff, says, "It really turned out to be a real good operation for us. We recovered a majority of the vests, as far as we know. There's also some silver linings. At one arrest site we recovered over 12 pounds of marijuana, 150 ecstasy pills and some crack cocaine."
Sheriff's investigators say Airman Brian Aubray Skelton is still in the Lowndes County Jail Tuesday afternoon, facing state charges.
Airmen Todd Louis Boutte and Jared Wayne Roberts are now in Air Force custody and could face federal charges.
The sheriff says if sheriff's vests had not been found and removed from the streets, it would have meant big trouble for local officers and deputies when trying to apprehend wanted suspects.
Paulk says, "If you get into a shooting situation, your first shot is most important, and if it's stopped by a vest, the situation is going downhill from there."
While many of the vests have been recovered, authorities are still searching for Kapreal Griffin. They say Griffin may be trying to sell off the remaining vests.
Investigators say the two airmen facing federal charges could get up to 30 years behind bars if convicted on all counts. Base officials say they have to wait until the legal process is over before commenting.

As of 2008-11-07
The William States Lee III Nuclear Station is a planned two-unit nuclear power plant. Duke Energy filed the Combined Construction and Operating License (COL) application for the plant on December 13, 2007 to the NRC. With this application, Duke Energy was the fourth company to apply for a license under the new procedure, and the license will be modeled after the Bellefonte NPP application that was filed by NuStart Energy two months prior, which is possible because both plants will use the AP1000 standard design.[1] Duke expects to receive the COL for Lee in 2012. The first unit could come on line about 2016.[2]
The plant is named for William States Lee III (1929–1996), former chief executive officer (CEO) of Duke Energy (1982–94). This site will be adjacent to the Cherokee Nuclear Power Plant site which was never completed and abandoned in the early 1980s, and used by James Cameron as a film set for the 1989 movie The Abyss.
In December 2007, Duke Power announced that it would spend $160 million in 2008 on the plant and that total costs could range 5–6 billion dollars.[3] In November 2008, Duke estimated the overnight cost of the plant at $11 billion.[2]

Seven Hong Kong tourists and one tour guide were killed and 13 people were injured when a disgruntled former police officer opened fire on a bus full of Hong Kong tourists after hijacking it in Manila on August 23, 2010. Dissatisfied with the Philippine government's handling of the crisis and the ensuing investigation, Hong Kong issued a black travel alert against the Philippines and later introduced other sanctions. The two governments and victims' families reached an agreement on April 23, 2014 in which survivors and victims' families accepted an undisclosed amount of compensation from Manila and the Hong Kong government agreed to lift sanctions.
Outrage and criticism were to be expected after the Philippines apparently imposed an entry ban on nine Hong Kong journalists who door-stepped President Benigno Aquino last year over the Manila hostage tragedy in 2010.
Tuesday, 25 November, 2014, 9:15am 4 commentsThe Philippines has tried hard to end its diplomatic row with Hong Kong after the 2010 hostage killings in Manila.
22 Nov 2014 - 6:22am 19 commentsHospital chiefs may still face legal action over the treatment of Manila bus hostage survivor Yik Siu-ling, four years after a botched rescue in the Philippine capital left eight Hongkongers dead and seven injured.
24 Aug 2014 - 2:36pm 4 commentsCrowds gathered in Manila this afternoon to mark the fourth anniversary of the bus hostage tragedy which claimed the lives of eight Hong Kong tourists, laying flowers and lighting candles.
24 Aug 2014 - 3:56am 4 commentsIt is encouraging to see a deal made between the Philippine government and the victims' families to end a 32-month stand-off over the Manila hostage tragedy, which claimed the lives of eight Hongkongers in 2010.
9 May 2014 - 3:36amTse Chi-hang blamed a lack of "engagement" by the administration of former chief executive Donald Tsang for the prolonged delay in Hong Kong reaching a diplomatic resolution with the Philippines.
26 Apr 2014 - 8:13am 9 commentsHong Kong can finally normalise relations with the Philippines. It never made much sense to ensnare our entire community and government over the Manila bus hostage crisis. But that we did.
25 Apr 2014 - 3:58am 9 commentsTime heals all wounds, goes the old saying. But for those who lost loved ones in the Manila tour bus hostage tragedy in 2010, it takes more to bring the case to an end.
25 Apr 2014 - 3:00amMore than three years of strained ties over the 2010 Manila bus hostage crisis ended yesterday, as the Philippines expressed its "most sorrowful regret and profound sympathy" over the tragedy.
24 Apr 2014 - 4:35pm 53 commentsPhilippine President Benigno Aquino says he has no plans to apologise to Hong Kong over the Manila bus hostage incident, as Hong Kong's diplomatic sanctions against Manila take effect on Wednesday.
The Philippine leader gave his first public response to the sanctions in an interview with The New York Times.
5 Feb 2014 - 5:26pm 3 commentsYik Siu-ling, who was shot in the face during the Manila bus hostage siege in 2010, will return to the city on January 10 after a successful operation in Taiwan to rebuild her shattered lower jaw.
"Thanks to the successful operation by Dr Wei Fu-chan, I have great confidence that I'll be able to lead a normal life again," Yik said by telephone yesterday.
27 Dec 2013 - 1:53pm 1 commentChief Executive Leung Chun-ying hinted yesterday that a deal to secure an apology and compensation from the Philippines for the victims of the 2010 Manila hostage tragedy could be near.
5 Dec 2013 - 3:45amFollowing Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying's meeting with Philippine President Benigno Aquino in Indonesia earlier this month, the hyperbolic denunciations heaped on the government are a looking-glass through which Hong Kong people can see their self-centredness and detachment from reality.
27 Oct 2013 - 9:12am 12 commentsWhen a bus full of Hong Kong tourists was taken hostage and eight of them were killed in Manila three years ago, the local community was shocked. Watching the tragedy unfold on the television screen was traumatic, and left us feeling outraged yet helpless.
10 Jun 2013 - 3:35am 1 commentHas our society lost all its marbles or collective brainpower to spend taxpayers' money on something so trivial? I suppose most readers would be troubled by the front-page news ("Taxi driver cleared in 50-cent court case", May 17).

Soderbergh, the Oscar-winning director of "Sex, Lies and Videotape," "Traffic," "Erin Brockovich" and "Ocean's Eleven," fathered the baby with Frances Lawrencina Anderson while he was separated from Jules Asner, who he married in 2003.
Soderbergh and Anderson reportedly conceived the child when he was in Sydney directing his play, "Tot Mom," in late 2009.
"The matter is resolved," Anderson's lawyer, Raoul Felder, told the New York Post Wednesday about the paternity suit. "On to the next movie."
Soderbergh's attorney, Bernard Clair, described the child-support agreement as "amicable" but declined to offer any details.
"Both parties preserved their integrity," the Post quoted Clair as saying.

Researchers want to find out if a drug called Cipro® XR (ciprofloxacin extended-release) can help people with a complicated urinary tract infection caused by a kind of bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The study doctor will give Cipro XR to some people to see if it is safe and works to treat complicated urinary tract infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The study doctor will also gather information about using Cipro XR to treat complicated urinary tract infections caused by other bacteria. About 500 people with complicated urinary tract infections who are 18 years old and older will join this study. Cipro XR is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections and acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis (inflammation of the kidney). The dose of Cipro XR used in this study (1000 mg a day for 7 to 14 days), has been shown to be safe and effective. This study is being done to gather more information on using this dose of Cipro XR for complicated urinary tract infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as by other bacteria.

You may have noticed that I didn't have a BOW this week. Well, that's because this week I am celebrating (two months over due) 1 Year of BOW! So exciting and it went by so quickly! Here's a little update from some of my past BOW's.
(more to come)
Hi friends! Lena here from Mus·ing(s) to update you on life since blogger of the week [woo!]. My husband and I are officially college graduates, so homework and coffee addictions have basically been eliminated from our household. In March we went on the road trip of a lifetime with our best friends and I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time. I'm still a rainbow sprinkle enthusiast. And funky socks lover. My little blog continues to be where I celebrate what makes this life so beautiful. And [if you haven't already] I invite you to come join in the celebration!
Hello all you lovely Gentri Lee followers! It was such a pleasure being blog of the week on this lovely gal's blog. And to be included in the yearly round-up with all these amazing bloggers?! Double awesome.
Well I've been a busy, busy bee since I was last featured. I started my very own clothing line called Midnight and Dawn. My twin sister and I spent months designing and sewing up dresses for our online shop. It's been a dream of ours for a long time, and it's been such an amazing, surreal experience seeing it come to life. Literally a dream come true! Right now we're working on new pieces for our Summer 2012 collection. I'll be posting all updates through my blog, Two Happy Hearts. So feel free to follow along if you'd like!
Thank you so much to Gentri and all you amazing readers. It's such an honor to be part of this blogging community. It's brought so much creativity and joy to my life! Thanks again, friends.
Wow a whole year! Congrats Gentri! I still remember when I was first featured on this blog, it helped me meet so many new blogger friends! So much has happened this past year. I went to Washington DC to work (with some vacation time on the side hehe), and I went to Las Vegas for my 21st birthday! I was absent from the blogging world last fall due to a hectic school schedule, but life slowed down for the better during the spring which allowed me to come back and I intend to stay! I'm excited for what my lil' blog has in store for the future! :)
Feathers & Freckles is almost one year old, and I'm not ashamed to say that I now have more friends on the internet than off. I have continued to experiment with my small closet and budget, and share (mostly awkward) stories about my life, thrifting, and taking self-portraits in public. I started a Fashion Flashback series, in which I take childhood photos and mimic my former style, and began sharing my DIY projects because I love to craft.
BONJOUR! This is Janette of Janette the Jongleur and here's my update of what's happened since being Ms. Gentri's BOW*:
-I fell while rollerblading and scraped my knee-meat, which then got infected. (Boo!)
-My car broke down and died.
-My uncle passed away :-(
-Hours at work got cut in half.
-Just found out my sister is moving to the other side of the world.
-I didn't win the $640,000,000 lotto.
Yeah... There's more where that came from! Duuude! It's been a rough one, but through it all, I've come to appreciate God in a deeper way. I'm also learning to cherish and really savor the times that are sweet. It's been crazy, guys! But I feel really blessed despite it all.
*Disclaimer: I am not claiming that being Gentri's BOW has in any way, shape, or form been the root cause of recent trials ;-)
Wow, I cannot believe it's already been a year since I was Gentri's BOW! How quickly the last year has flown. A lot has changed since then, too... The biggest change being that I am now a Mrs.! The husband and I were married on October 15, 2011 at Belle Meade Plantation here in Nashville, TN. It was an incredible and beautiful day filled with love, family, and friends. And the days since have been wonderful, too. Our puppy is still spoiled and the idea of getting a second dog occasionally gets thrown around... Until we reminisce about the holes Paisley chewed in the wall and baseboards in our house when we attempted to leave her out of her crate the first time! The husband I have a summer full of trips planed, mostly for weddings as well as trip to the beach in a few weeks. We are also in the midst of planning our 1 year anniversary trip. My blog is now focused on daily ramblings, married life, and occasional entertaining. Thanks again, Gentri, for featuring me!
Hello there friends and happy one year to BOW! It hasn't been long since I was BOW here at Gentri Lee, but as life tends to do, quite a bit has taken place! I'm still Michelle, I still love my dog and bike, and of course I still adore adventure. I do have new glasses, have officially been to an H&M, and almost met Bleubird's husband while eating beignets. Stop it. I literally almost died when that last one happened. One would think that finally shopping at an H&M would do it, but nope, almost meeting my blog crushes' husband caused me to turn into a complete and silly idiot. The. life. of. a. blogger. I'm seriously sure you can relate. One thing that most certainly hasn't changed: I'd still love for you to stop by OTA, friend, I sure would!
Hey ya'll it's Little Mrs Me! Wow I can't believe it's been a year! Time has just flown by and so much has changed since Gentri Lee asked me to be a BOW last year! My Mr. graduated from BYU-I, we moved to Virginia, got jobs, went on a cruise to the Western Caribbean, my sister got prego, my sister-inlaw got prego, I got a job promotion, learned to make pasta from scratch, took up Zumba, we moved further north in Virginia, went to NYC, and I got to experience my first full Spring, earthquake and tornado! Are you exhausted yet? We really have had such a busy year, but I feel so blessed by everything we have gotten to do, ok maybe not the earthquake and tornado bit....
Being able to move into our own little condo has been so great, and liberating, we live less than 5 minutes from the Potomac River and it is so beautiful here. Being close to family is a major perk also! By the end of 2012 I will be the proud aunt of 16 nieces and nephews! Good thing I got a promotion to pay for all those birthdays!
In short life is exactly how it should be, great with a side of awesome. I am really looking forward to this summer of relaxing by the pool, spending quality time with friends and family, and of course blogging my little heart out! Hope the last year has been as good to ya'll as it has to me! xoxo
The Mrs.
Since Blogger of the Week..things are pretty much the same for me (aside from a new blog design business)! I'm still blogging about fashion, DIY and living a creative life--all while encouraging others to do the same! Thanks to BOW I've met a ton of new people and am eternally grateful to Gentri for having me : )
my name is kaitlyn and i blog at isavirtue. i knew i liked gentri the moment i met her a year ago - we bonded over our distaste for airplanes! the past year of my life has been an exciting one with a lot of ups and downs career wise. i was offered the role of manager of a local art gallery and the position brought a lot of wonderful experiences into my life. i'm now at a point where i am choosing which direction to take my career in and it's equally exciting and nerve-wracking! this was also my first year as a newlywed and wife. i truly believe that my husband and i have grown closer together in this time and i am thankful for his presence and support. blogging is also a big part of my life and i'm looking forward to the year ahead - hopefully you'll all think of isavirtue when you want to see some snail mail and art!

His ROTC experience helped him absorb the details and nuances of modern warfare and spycraft, as he voraciously read books on the military and unclassified government documents, which would surface 15 years later when he wrote his first novel, "The Hunt for Red October," published in 1984.
He graduated in 1969 with an English degree and moved to Hartford, Conn., where he worked for an insurance company from 1969 to 1973. That year, he returned to Maryland and joined O.F. Bowen, his in-laws' insurance agency in the Calvert County community of Owings.
His insurance office had a number of military clients, which kept him around epaulets and brass buttons. He wrote an article in 1982 on the MX missile system for Proceedings, a publication of the Naval Institute in Annapolis.

His first publisher, Jim Barber, a retired Navy captain and retired executive director of the Naval Institute, once recalled Mr. Clancy as "a very bright guy who knows clearly what he thinks and doesn't hesitate to let you know what he thinks. ... You don't have any problem understanding where you stand with him."
Bored with the insurance business, Mr. Clancy began working on a novel in his spare time, after reading a newspaper account of a mutiny aboard the Soviet destroyer Storozhevoy in 1975. The result was "The Hunt for Red October," a tale of superpower conflict centered on a renegade Soviet nuclear submarine.
The book took off like a heat-seeking missile, selling 300,000 hardbacks and 2 million paperbacks in two years.
The book got a significant boost when President Ronald Reagan declared it a "perfect yarn" and other officials hinted playfully that it might contain classified information. One version of that story has a publicist working feverishly to get the book to the presidential bedside table, but Mr. Clancy insisted it was simply a reviewer with a friend with connections who passed it along.
"I've been lucky," Mr. Clancy said in the 1992 interview with The Sun, as he inhaled an omnipresent Merit menthol cigarette.
In 1985, Mr. Clancy told The Sun that he wasn't trying to write the great American novel.
"I did not write King Lear. I am not Hemingway, Faulkner or Shakespeare, and I won't say Steinbeck, because I don't like him," he said.
"The whole point of writing is to get an idea out of your head and put it in somebody else's head," he told the newspaper in 2004.
Mr. Clancy's daily writing regimen was to work four to six hours with a goal of producing at least five pages.
Mr. Clancy's success enabled him to purchase a 17,000-square-foot penthouse condominium at the Ritz-Carlton whose price tag was $16.6 million and where he purportedly wanted to build a firing range.
The Sun reported last year that Mr. Clancy's Inner Harbor digs had by far the highest tax payment of any home in Baltimore — almost $350,000. That was more than all the payments from homeowners in some city neighborhoods, according to the article.
He also owned an 80-acre farm overlooking the Chesapeake Bay in Southern Maryland that included a retired Army Sherman tank, a gift from his first wife.
When his third novel, "Patriot Games," was published in 1987, again featuring the character of Jack Ryan, a Sun reviewer wrote, "Mr. Clancy catches the smells of the Chesapeake Bay country like John Barth and the color and activity of Baltimore and its environs like Anne Tyler. ... Where alas, is a Washingtonian to enshrine that city with the loving felicity of this trio?"
Some observers thought that with the fall of communism in 1991, Mr. Clancy, who often used coups in his books as a literary device, might have trouble continuing to write thrillers.
Later that year, with the publication of "The Sum of All Fears," he turned to Middle East nuclear terrorists and proved his versatility, giving agent Jack Ryan a further lease on life.
As part of a divorce settlement in 1999 from his first wife, the former Wanda Thomas, Mr. Clancy, the second-largest Orioles shareholder, split his ownership, about 24 percent before the settlement, with his ex-wife, The Sun reported in 2000.
Mr. Clancy later served as the Orioles' vice chairman of community projects and community affairs.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 24 (HealthDay News) -- Obesity interventions that include family involvement may be a promising approach for targeting African-American girls, but more research is required, according to the results of a systematic literature review published online Oct. 12 in Obesity Reviews.
Daheia J. Barr-Anderson, Ph.D., M.S.P.H., of the University of South Carolina in Columbia, and colleagues conducted a systemic review of 27 obesity pilot or full-length prevention or treatment studies which included some degree of family involvement and were specific to African-American girls.
The studies reviewed included family-based interventions such as physical activity, eating/nutrition, or weight change components, and most of the interventions targeted parent-child dyads. The researchers found that, across all studies, there were promising effects on weight-related behaviors, but these were often nonsignificant. The results were similar for weight-related outcomes in the full-length randomized controlled trials.
"Many strategies appeared promising on face value, but available data did not permit inferences about whether or how best to involve family members in obesity prevention and treatment interventions with African-American girls," the authors write. "Study designs that directly compare different types and levels of family involvement and incorporate relevant theoretical elements may be an important next step."

Cary's class can be taken for Granted
by David Kronke (submitted by Barry Martin - Thanks Barry!)
They were immaculately dressed, those who filled McFarlin Auditorium Sunday afternoon to hear the film reminiscences of Cary Grant and see a bit of history.
They seemed almost eager to please Grant as he appeared intent upon pleasing them. The 82-year-old star would not allow his photo to be taken, but he appeared to be in robust health. As many women in the audience remarked, he still is handsome.
Grant professed nervousness on stage; early on he called himself a "rotten speechmaker." But "A Conversation With Cary Grant," as the afternoon event at Southern Methodist University was billed, revealed an articulate man, sharp and witty and able to please a crowd.
He talked about Grace Kelly, whom he called a "completely relaxed" actress with "Buddha-like" control. He remembered Alfred Hitchcock, one of his favorite directors, as a tasteful and reserved man with a wonderful sense of humor.
When asked about which of his films he liked best, Grant was diplomatic. "I like them all. Whether or not you like them all is another matter." He later admitted, however, that the characters he liked the best were the ones he played in "Sylvia Scarlett" and "Father Goose."
His acting career was most influenced, he said, by actors A.E. Matthews, Noel Coward and Jack Buchanan, and he learned his comic timing from George Burns.
Grant said he got to work with actress Mae West - and wished he hadn't. "It was terrible - well, not terrible, but disconcerting to say the least," he announced to laughter.
Grant said the most embarrassing moment in his career came on stage in Philadelphia on opening night of a play called "Boom Boom." He was participating in a Spanish dance when the orchestra's drummer told him that his fly was open.
Believing the drummer was joking, Grant continued dancing until an actress told him the same thing. Grant then tried to dance subtly to the side of the stage and take care of the problem, but was pushed back onstage by an emerging chorus of dancing girls.
Afterward, Grant remembered, the producer of the show came up, ecstatic, and said to keep the bit in the show.

Have you ever been given a gift card that you can't use? How about a voucher for a website you'd never dream of buying from? It might be tempting to pass the card on to someone else, but instead of regifting you could always try and sell or exchange the card online.
It's unlikely that you'll receive the full value of the gift card, but then again something is better than nothing. On the flip-side if you're thinking of making a purchase from a retailer that offers gift cards you might snag a bargain by buying some discounted store credit beforehand.
The most logical and obvious choice for such a task, eBay is full of discounted gift cards being sold both as auctions and Buy It Now items. The price is often determined by the store itself – iTunes and Walmart are widely-used and thus will probably sell for closer to the retail value of the card than smaller, niche businesses. Popular gift cards are often auctioned, and it's not surprising to see the final bid only shave a couple of dollars off the full value of the card.
Buy It Now auctions work better for smaller brands and services, and success entirely depends on the price you're willing to let the card go for. Don't forget once your auction has ended you'll also lose some of your winnings as fees to both eBay and PayPal so take this into account before setting your price too low.
Conversely, I've seen a number of auctions with final bids that are higher than the gift card's actual worth and that even before postage has been added. Don't forget that the usual eBay warnings apply, though with PayPal buyer protection you should be able to shop with relative confidence.
CardPool is a service established specifically for the sale and purchase of unwanted gift cards. Selling a gift card via CardPool will earn you a maximum 92% of the card's worth and shipping won't cost a penny thanks to the free postage. According to the website, buyers can enjoy up to 35% in discounts when they purchase a card online.
Buying is easy – simply browse or search the catalogue. Selling requires you choose your merchant from a very long list, enter the card's value and then decide whether you want to send the card via snail mail or enter the code online. For a $100 Walmart gift card I was offered $92 mail-in or $87 for online code entry. There is also an option over whether to receive the amount via cheque or on an Amazon gift card and CardPool offers a guarantee on your purchase, making it safe to buy.
The only problem I've found is that despite CardPool's claims that they want to take the service international it seems to only work for US stores or cards with values in US dollars at the moment. Non-US users might want to keep an eye on this one just in case international support is added.
A service designed to deal in the sale of credit cards, prepaid cards and gift cards, CardHub is an international service operating in eight countries: US, Canada, UK, Australia, Ireland, Greece, Philippines and Romania. Unfortunately the bulk of the sales seem to be located in the US, though it's nice to have a service that caters for international users too.
US sellers will be given the choice of selling their gift card directly to a partner site (I was offered $95 for a $100 Walmart card) or publicly listing the card for sale on CardHub at a price of their choosing. If you want to list the card then you're going to need a Facebook account, and this is your only option outside of the US at this time.
Buyers can save anywhere from 5% to 50%, so it might be worth checking out CardHub before making a big purchase from an established retailer. Unfortunately there is no guarantee, and CardHub recommends doing deals in person using cash in order to avoid being stung.
Gift Card Converter (UK only)
The UK equivalent of services like CardPool, Gift Card Converter turns your unwanted high street gift cards into cash. Sellers will be pleased to know the website recently dropped the listing fee, making it free to list your unwanted card on the service. All you need to get going is a spare gift card and a PayPal account to receive the funds.
Sellers can list cards with a value of £10-£600, and there is also the option of donating old cards with little value to charity. The website doesn't handle any transactions themselves and only exist as a marketplace, making PayPal your best friend when it comes to disputes.
CardLimbo (Australia only)
For Australian sellers there's CardLimbo, a service which will buy unwanted gift cards, sell discounted ones and provide a money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied. A quick test reveals that CardLimbo are willing to give me $85 for a $100 Coles gift card, not a bad fee though eBay may be a more profitable route.
Seeing as you're protected by the company, you can buy with confidence from CardLimbo. Just like Gift Card Converter in the UK, CardLimbo also encourages you to send in your old unwanted gift cards so that they can be donated to charity.
It's time to stop pretending you might use that gift card and do the right thing – sell it, collect some cash and buy something you really want. Most gift cards have expiry dates – the longer you wait, the closer obsoletion becomes. Do something today, help someone snag a bargain, buy what you really want and while you're at it why not donate your old low-balance cards to charity?
Have you sold a gift card before? What service did you use? Did you get a decent price? Let us know in the comments.

That's flossy! (Am I doing this right?)
"Politics: Poli a Latin word meaning many; and "tics" meaning bloodsucking creatures." ~Robin Williams
So basically unless Under Armor has an actual uniform to copy, they still suck at uniform design.
Cyclone Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted: 'Struck by a Cyclone It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'
Wonder what prompted the move from Nike to UA. In Nike's "ranks", Oregon is essentially #1 and Army & Navy were 2a and 2b. Granted, they didn't do anything overly flashy (ala Oregon) to keep with their traditions and history, but they got great new designs every year and could get pretty much anything they wanted from Nike.

Don't like the helmet. I like the uniforms conceptually and applicably, and I do like elements of the helmet (and I get what they were trying to do with the helmet - make it resemble the Naval hat) - but I would prefer to see the elements on that helmet in a more traditional form - namely the gold stripe down the center of the helmet.

I wasn't sure about the helmet until I saw the pic of the naval uniform & then I "got it." I absolutely love the uniform. Seeing these makes me wish that we would keep the Jack Trice uniforms, and wear them yearly (perhaps on homecoming - &/or parent's weekend - &/or a bowl game).

I don't have a thought on the topic just glad to see CLONECONES making a cf post.

PDF Registration Form
Conference registration includes admission to all technical sessions; admittance to the exhibit hall; daily breakfasts; refreshment breaks; lunches on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday; Thursday evening's reception at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum; a program book of abstracts; and a USB flash drive digital copy of the conference proceedings, and a participant bag.

Look for the fee labeled "Student Sole Author Registration."
Member fees are offered to all members of IEEE and ASEE. A valid membership number has to be provided.
To receive the reduced student fee of $350, students must submit a copy of a valid student ID card or letter from the university confirming full-time student status. To register, students should

Visa Information
International participants arriving from outside the United States who hold a passport from one of the thirty six countries in the Visa Waiver Program have a machine-readable passport may be able to travel without a visa. Participants from other countries will need a B-1 (business) visa or B-2 (tourist) visa.
Obtaining a U.S. visa may require a visit to a U.S. consulate or embassy, payment of a fee, and significant wait time. Please contact your local U.S. consulate or embassy for up-to-date information.
Visa letters will only be issued to:
- Speakers/Presenters
- Committee Members
- Attendees who have paid their registration fee in full and are not from one of the countries embargoed by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (Cuba, Iran, Libya, and Sudan).
Letter of invitation:
A letter of invitation is provided only after you have completed registration for the conference and paid the conference registration fee. Such a letter may be needed to obtain a visa or permission to attend the meeting. Persons requiring an official letter of invitation in order to attend the conference are advised to choose the option when they register on line. The letter will be provided by email.

The Visa Waiver Program
The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables nationals of 36 participating countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business (visitor [B] visa purposes only) for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. The program was established to eliminate unnecessary barriers to travel, stimulating the tourism industry, and permitting the Department of State to focus consular resources in other areas. VWP eligible travelers may apply for a visa, if they prefer to do so. Nationals of VWP countries must meet eligibility requirements to travel without a visa on VWP, and therefore, some travelers from VWP countries are not eligible to use the program. VWP travelers are required to have a valid authorization through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) prior to travel, are screened at the port of entry into the United States, and are enrolled in the Department of Homeland Security's US-VISIT program.
Countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program
Andorra | Finland | Japan | New Zealand | Spain |
Austrialia | France | Latvia | Norway | Sweden |
Austria | Germany | Liechtenstein | Portugal | Switzerland |
Belgium | Greece | Lithuania | San Marino | United Kingdom |
Brunei | Hungary | Luxembourg | Singapore | |
Czech Republic | Iceland | Malta | Slovakia | |
Denmark | Ireland | Monaco | Slovenia | |
Estonia | Italy | Netherlands | South Korea |
Eligibility for admission under the Visa Waiver Program
Review this VWP Quick Reference Guide (for new member countries) and make sure you review this webpage for detailed information. Nationals of the 36 countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program may use VWP if:
- They have received an authorization to travel under the VWP through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)
- They present the appropriate type of passport valid for six months past their expected stay in the United States This is a requirement in addition to other passport requirements for all categories of passports -- regular, diplomatic, and official - when the traveler is seeking to enter the United States for business or tourist purposes, for a maximum of 90 days;
- The purpose of their stay in the United States is 90 days or less for tourism or business (Visitor (B) visa) purpose of travel. (If in doubt, travelers should check with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate to verify that what they plan to do is considered tourism or business.) Transit through the United States is generally permitted.
- If arriving by air or sea, they are traveling on an approved carrier and have a return trip ticket to any foreign destination;
- They can demonstrate the intent to stay 90 days or less in the United States and demonstrate sufficient funds to support themselves while in the United States. Learn more on the CBP website.
VWP travelers who have been admitted under the Visa Waiver Program and who make a short trip to Canada, Mexico or an adjacent island generally can be readmitted to the United States under the VWP for the balance of their original admission period. See the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website for additional details. Also VWP nationals resident in Mexico, Canada or adjacent islands are generally exempted from requirements to show onward travel to other foreign destinations. Learn more at the CBP website.

in Rodos Ecofilms june '07
Greece, 2007
Running time: 19'
Production: Ecofilms
Antonis Pachos serves as the island's audiovisual memory ark, ever since the middle of the past century. Now quite elder, this restless worker of the camera donated in September 2006 his vast film archive to the festival, after an initiative of the company Image and Environment, in order for the Audiovisual Memory Archive to be founded, based in Rodos. Ecofilms undertook the restoration and digitalization of the archive, so that its presentation can commence, starting this year during the screenings.
Antonis Pachos want to fulfill a life-long dream in his laboratory in Ialissos, which is now under reconstruction: to create in the ground floor of the building where his 400 m2 laboratory is, a diachronic exhibition where the visitors, especially the younger ones, will have a chance to see in print the most important moments of the period from 1915 to 1980 in their region. From the picturesque quality of a street vendor, several decades ago, to the legendary pre-electoral rallies.
It should be noted that at this diachronic exhibition will include photographs from 1915 to 1980, as well as equipment that were used to "freeze" time, images and apparatus that "tell" all there is to know about the history, the habits, the technology and the people of a whole era. Antonis Pachos documents the history of this region for seventy years now, and one only needs to have a glimpse at the cameras he had held all these years to understand the grandeur and the uniqueness of the archive he has collected.

Businesses looking to implement a video strategy into their website marketing efforts might want to consider leveraging SmartVideo technology.
SundaySky's SmartVideo solution offers a personalized way to engage with consumers. The solution's goal is to deliver the right message to the right person at the right time, based on information such as the consumer's browsing behavior, customer history or geography.
Recently, personal technology company Lenovo decided to leverage the SmartVideo technology throughout its online product catalog in order to deliver personalized, real-time video experiences to consumers. The solution not only drove higher-quality traffic to Lenovo's website, but also boosted conversion rates.
In fact, during a two-month testing period, Lenovo discovered that SmartVideo's automated creation and delivery of 1,300 product videos contributed to an average increase in revenue of 2 percent across all products. Furthermore, 5 percent of visitors who watched the product videos made purchases, and a video-viewing completion rate of 88 percent further proved that the SmartVideos both increased and improved online engagement.
"Lenovo joins other leaders in online retail in using automated, real-time product videos to increase website traffic and conversions, and to bring value to other areas of its business," says Jim Dicso, president of SundaySky. "SmartVideo creates more effective engagement throughout the customer lifecycle, and Lenovo's SmartVideo strategy is a prime example of that."

Conservatives, especially neoconservatives, (and even some pro-Israeli moderates and liberals), admire Israel's use of muscular tactics to safeguard its security. Many conservatives also admire Robert E. Lee's aggressive, offense-oriented tactical victories in the U.S. Civil War. But like Lee, who ultimately lost the war, the Israelis are exhibiting enormous strategic ineptitude.
Lee, using the Napoleonic tactics of the offense, won many brilliant victories by attacking the superior forces of the Union Army. But Lee lost sight of the most basic strategic factor. Although he inflicted many Union losses, such aggressive tactics also caused his own casualty rates to be very high. Lee simply ran out of men before the larger Union Army did. When the Union eventually installed a general opposite Lee who was competent in both strategy and tacticsUlysses S. Grantthe North took advantage of superior troop numbers to grind down Lee's rebel forces. Grant often lost tactically on the battlefield, but relentlessly advanced toward Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, using attrition to destroy Lee's army.
Like Lee, the Israelis are winning the battle tacticallydestroying fighters and projectiles of Hezbollah and Hamas. In Lebanon, they may even succeed in backing Hezbollah away from the Israeli-Lebanese border and establishing a buffer zone patrolled by the weak Lebanese army and some sort of multinational force. But the Israeli offensives in Lebanon and Gaza will destroy neither Hezbollah nor Hamas, nor the motivation for violence that underlies these groups. Because the Israeli public still remembers the 18-year quagmire that resulted from Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, Israel probably will not again launch the full ground invasion of Lebanon needed to finally crush Hezbollah. Israeli air strikes alone cannot kill all Hezbollah fighters and destroy all of their weapons and infrastructure. Similarly, since the Israelis just withdrew their forces from Gaza, it is unlikely that they would permanently reoccupy it in order to fully eradicate Hamas. In fact, Israel's grossly disproportionate collective punishment of Lebanon and Gaza for the killing and capturing of a few Israeli soldiers will only fuel the anti-Israel fire in both places and the larger Arab world. When hatred has been stoked, lost fighters and weapons can be replacedand rather easily.
The aggressive Israeli policy of an offensive "defense" created the threat from these groups in the first place. When Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 to get rid of the Palestinian group Fatah, its invasion and occupation of southern Lebanon ultimately led to the radicalization of parts of Lebanon's Shi'ite community and the creation of Hezbollah. In Palestine, Israel originally supported Hamas as a counterweight to Fatah. As Israel's continued occupation began to radicalize the Palestinians and Fatah's corruption became exposed, Hamas gained support. Today, it runs the Palestinian Authority.
Strategically, Israel's disproportionate use of military force will not wipe out these groups or the support that they receive from their respective populations. Only a comprehensive negotiated, not unilateral, Middle East settlementin which Israel gives back all of the occupied territories in exchange for peace and normal relations with its Arab neighborswill choke off popular support for these radical groups. Instead of futilely trying to drain the swamp of terrorists militarily, Israel should concentrate on draining their motivation for violence using political means.
Although the Americans have run into a quagmire in Iraq, they finally realize, at least theoretically, that they can't defeat the Iraqi insurgency through military means. They are attempting to negotiate their way out, but it may be too late. (The Sunni insurgents deliberately attacked the Shi'a in order to start a sectarian civil war, which is now raging.) Unfortunately, the Israelis are even further behind the slow Americans in coming to terms with reality. They still fail to realize that military solutions, as well as unilateral political actions, are not the answer to guerrilla war and terrorism. A comprehensive negotiated "land for peace" settlement is the only way to make support for Hezbollah and Hamas evaporate. The more Israel pounds Lebanon and Gaza with its own acts of terrorism, the less likely a negotiated settlementand an end to terrorism by Hezbollah and Hamasbecomes.
